@Kate3015 That’s an appallingly dumb position to take @Kate3015 , considering that the coalition was in government for a decade. They did not care then, and do not care now.

@exceeding_love @WalkerMarcus You can have those hymns back if you return our cathedrals.

“May the great God, whom I worship, grant to my country and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious Victory:
and may no misconduct, in any one, tarnish it:
and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet.”

@kevinbonham Alternative feedback: It’s unbelievable that you do so much work for so little reward. You provide a free public service and it’s appreciated immensely. Thanks Kevin.

For those who don't understand why a Jew would look at this and go "wtf"? Here just some of the ways:

1) Menorah is not used on Yom Kippur.

2) Even if it were, no one uses the 7-branched candelabrum since ancient Jewish history. Contemporaneous menorahs are 9-branched.

3) Apple and honey isn't a thing on Yom Kippur, that's Rosh Hashana.

4) Similarly, no glass of wine (or any other beverage) is customarily drank on Yom Kippur without the end coinciding with the ending of the Sabbath.

Basically, it's like wishing a Christian a Merry Christmas but instead of a Christmas tree and Santa Claus there's only Easter eggs and bunny rabbits. And the eggs are ostrich eggs for whatever reason.

This case comes down to the sex discrimination commissioner arguing for legal protections men don’t need while taking away legal protections women do need.

This is brilliant. Loved this quote but read it all:

HABEMUS PAPAM! 🙌

White smoke rises from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican on Thursday, May 8 (Friday, May 9 in Manila), a signal that the College of Cardinals has chosen a new pope for the Catholic Church.

@ChavuraStephen @JohnPesutto A slow time catastrophe. And a disgusting abuse of power.

[Stephen Chavura @ChavuraStephen]

Has there ever been a longer political su$cide in Australian history? @JohnPesutto?

[Stephen Chavura @ChavuraStephen]

Recently we all celebrated Moira Deeming’s victory over John Pesutto. Moira stood up to wickedness and bullying in the VIC Libs at, no doubt, tremendous personal and professional cost. Let’s imagine for a second that Moira decided to “play the long game” and not speak out on trans issues, or that she immediately apologised for attending that rally, or never attended such rallies to begin with. What would Australia have lost with that stance? Rather than keeping her head down when the going got tough, she courageously stood up and said “No”. Moira brought the issues of free speech and trans ideology to the centre of public debate and demonstrated courage to the whole nation, exposing what a disgraceful bully Pesutto is. If the Liberal Party around Australia is going to change, it will not be via MPs playing “the long game”, it’ll be through MPs following Moira’s lead, risking it all, and courageously saying “No” to wicked party policy decisions. Imagine if all conservative Christian MPs did that together, rather than played “the long game”. Imagine if we had 80 Moira Deemings in national Liberal politics! Let me finish by asking, how has the Liberal Party been going over the past 10 years while conservative Christians have played “the long game”? Has it gotten better or worse? We need a strategic paradigm shift. Moira has shown the way.

[Tony Abbott @HonTonyAbbott]

A shameful result from the Victorian Liberal party room. How can someone elected as a Liberal be expelled on the basis of a lie and not be readmitted once the truth is there for all to see? Especially right before Christmas, the season of goodwill, this is a truly contemptible failure to act with honour and decency

My day job is all about data. Our work is mostly focused on extremely challenging societal issues. But sometimes you just come across some basic stats that floor you.

This age pyramid for Ukraine is just heart breaking. All the aid in the world will never fix this.

@CosmicSkeptic I like both @CosmicSkeptic and @ClarkeMicah! Both brilliant thinkers, and both have a lot to contribute. I don't support drug legalisation, and it's a bloody hard position to argue for - it can be like standing in a rip tide. For a few brief minutes, Peter let the tide get him.
